CKI family, all around the world

CK Infrastructure gathered a group of high-achieving colleagues from around the world and their family members for a day of fun and games in Hong Kong last November with 1,200 participants attending. Held after a long COVID-induced hiatus, the CKI International Family Day brings together staff and family members from Hong Kong, Mainland China as well as the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. A tug-of-war and dance competition were two of the highlight events of the day.

The CKI International Family Day celebrates the team and family spirit amongst colleagues of different nationalities and cultures from all corners of the globe, standing united as a strong family unit with common fundamental values and a desire to achieve excellence. The smiles and joy were clear enough to show that the CKI family was happy to be together again!
